WE ARE CELEBRATING PESACH

Almaty.20.04.2008

It is cheerful and boisterous at community centre "Rimon" from early morning. Why? Because of Pesach began, children and parents came to celebrate it to us.

It was begun at 11:00 in the morning. The group of teenagers from community centre prepared all themselves. The guys invented up and showed performance on theme of the holiday; thanks to it, younger children found out the history of the Exodus. Game began after this: younger children divided by the teenagers into twelve groups - knee of Israel. During one year the guys will look after children from their knees, to call to them, talk in order that the kids feel a part of the large amicable family. Each knee should grow, and at the end of the year the largest knee, which did lost nobody and increased their family, will receive a prize - digital camera.

After performance the free people, with singing and Matza in hands, went to the next hall, where celebratory table was dished up by the hands of parents' committee. During Seder, thanks to the outstanding teacher and connoisseur of traditions Anna Sailants, children found out the order of Pesach, drank 4 prescribed glasses of grape juice, asked 4 questions, and participated in quiz. They sung familiar songs, such as "Dai enu", "Hava nagiva", "Ose Shalom" with the chief of chorus Ludmila Samsonova. Then everyone wished each other "the next year in Jerusalem".

Who spent Seder at home knows: it is labour-consuming and volumetric work. What tell about preparation of Seder for 40 children? Parents’ committee took upon all this work themselves. The parents rung round children, collected the necessary sum of money, went for shopping themselves. They cooked eggs, fried chicken legs, minced apples and nuts at their kitchens. During the holiday they helped to organize and seat children on their places.

I would like to tell them the great thank for their work, for their understanding and supporting!
